Modular surface-mounted distribution box Kanlux KDB-IP65-S12T 1x12 modules IP65 IK10 N+PE Class II grey with transparent door

Modular surface-mounted distribution box Kanlux KDB-IP65-S12T is designed to house up to 12 DIN modules in a single row. The enclosure is made of durable plastic with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water jets and an IK10 rating for strong impact resistance. It has a neutral and protective earth (N+PE) terminal arrangement and Class II insulation, and comes in a grey housing with a transparent front door that allows visual inspection of installed circuits without opening the cover.

Advantages

The enclosure provides robust environmental protection and mechanical resistance suitable for exposed indoor or sheltered outdoor installations. Its transparent door enables quick visual checks while maintaining the sealed IP65 barrier. The N+PE terminal configuration simplifies earthing and neutral connections in single-phase distribution, and Class II insulation reduces the need for additional protective grounding of the enclosure. Surface-mounted design allows installation on walls where flush mounting is not possible or practical.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution panels for small apartments and houses
• Light commercial or retail spaces requiring weather-resistant enclosures
• Workshops or utility rooms where impact resistance is needed
• Temporary or retrofit electrical installations on solid walls

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1 x 12 DIN modules (single row)
• Protection class: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
• Impact resistance: IK10
• Insulation class: Class II
• Terminal arrangement: N + PE
• Material: durable plastic housing
• Color: grey with transparent door for circuit visibility
• Mounting type: surface-mounted

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a suitable flat surface using appropriate anchors and fasteners for the substrate. Fit DIN rail and snap in the modular devices up to the indicated 12-module capacity, making sure to leave space for terminal connections. Connect neutral and protective earth conductors to the provided N and PE terminals respectively. Ensure all wiring is performed with power disconnected and in accordance with local electrical codes and standards. After wiring, close the transparent door to maintain IP65 protection while allowing visual monitoring of the installed modules.

Usage recommendations

For long-term performance, install the enclosure in locations protected from direct sunlight where possible to minimise UV exposure. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners when mounting in damp environments and verify that cable entries are sealed to preserve IP65 integrity. Regularly inspect seals and the transparent door for damage or wear and ensure that the enclosure is not used to house devices exceeding its specified module capacity or thermal limits.
